EPISODE ONE
There is a medium size-boat roaming, at a sea... The wind is blowing near a small port. A young man is walking, dressed in expensive looking clothes. He is chewing gum, looking around, tired and lost. He counts some money... Sigh. Someone threw a rope at him.
Yungook: What are you doing standing in there like that! Tie this up!
Moonhyung: Are you talking to me?
YG: Do you see anyone else?
MH: (To himself) Nice way of asking... (Loudly) Sir, it's that for scuba-diving? I've done that once before.
YG: Scuba-diving? Are you kidding me? Go away!!
MH: OK, I'm leaving!!!
***In front of Sea Food House
Gilja: Why don't you come in and have a dish of fresh seafood?
Moonhyung: You see... I don't have money now. Could I eat and pay later?
GJ: What? Are you asking me for free food? No way, go away!
MH: Stingy woman!
GJ: What? You want to eat for free and you're calling me stingy?!
***Inside the Restaurant
Ajumma: Did you come to eat?
MH: Yes, please...
Ajumma: (Loud) Then sit down!
MH: (To himself) This people here are rude!
Aju: What did you say?
MH: I just said I want to eat...
Aju: You have to wait!
Employee: (Entered) The employment agency didn't call yet? I'm dead tired!
MH: Water please!
Em: (Brought water) I could tell you're from Seoul by your accent...
***At the Port
Misoon: Sir, have some coffee!
Moonhyung: ... I have the habit of having coffee after eating... Could you give me one for free?
MS: What?
MH: Never mind, I was just joking...
MS: (Looking at him.) Allright, have one. You're not from here, right?
MH: Wow, you're the first friendly person in this town!
MS: No way, you'll see how warm everyone is once you know them. Here!
***Night Club
Moonhyung is looking around, waiting for someone.
Waiter: Are you waiting for friends?
MH: Yes.
Waiter: Would you like to order first?
MH: Yes...
Moonhyung called some friends... Then he hang up... He looked inside the bar and tried to run away.
***Outside Night Club
Moonhyung is caught. "Son of a %&^^&!!"
MH: I'm sorry, I lost my card.
Waiter: What? Sales are not good and we know your type.
They beat him up... and he run away.
****Job Interview
Man: How old are you? (23.) Schooling? (Finished High School.) Experience with boats?
MH: I rode on boats before...
Man: You worked with ships?
MH: No, I rode in there... for fun.
Man: Did you come here to joke with me? Get out! (Moonhyung ran away.)
***At the Restaurant
Ajumma: (Sees MH looked inside.) What are you doing in there?
Employee: I saw him snicking in there for a while.
MH: Snicking in? I'm hungry. Please give me something to eat.
***Inside Sea Food House
Sambong: Can't you serve me some drink?
Gilja: What did you say? Do you think I work at a Night-club?
Sambong: No, but we know each other well. That should be fine.
Gilja: I don't want!
SB: It doesn't matter. Your father promised me, so there's nothing you could do about it.
***Misoon's House
Misoon: Hello Grandfather... Grandfather! Didn't I tell you I was going to make the rice for you? Why did you do it?
Grandfather: What's so hard about making rice? It's easy.
***At the Restaurant
Ajumma: What? You don't have money?
MH: (Looked down.) If you wait I'll pay you back.
Aju: You want me to believe that?
MH: What can I do? I have no money...
Employee: Why do you make such a big deal with a bowl of rice? Just let him go.
MH: That's true. At home, I wouldn't eat this kind of food even if they beg me to.
Aju: (Give the phone.) Then, call home and tell them to bring you the money.
MH: I can't now.
Aju: Why?
MH: It's personal
Aju: Do you have a home? (???) According to what I see, you are a bum with no house nor family.
MH: That's true! I'm a homeless bu... I mean, not bum but a poor homeless. So have pity, yes?
Aju: I can't. If you don't have money, you have to work today!
***Next to a Stairway
Moonhyung is seating on the stairs, looking down, with a tray of food next to him.
MH: (To himself.) What? She wants me to sell myself like this? I can't believe this!
***At the Restaurant
Aju: Why is he taking so long?
Emp: he might be lost. Just be patient.
Aju: What if he ran away with the food?
Emp: Why on earth would he do that?
Aju: (Picking up the phone.) What??? He is not there yet? I'm sorry, I'll bring it right away! (Hang up.) Where is this boy?
***Next to a Stairway
(Ajumma is running with a tray of food and finds Moonhyung seating there.)
Aju: Hey!!! What are you doing there!!! Look at you... you ate all the food and now your digesting it?
MH: That's not it... (Shut up!!!)
***At the Restaurant
(Moonhyung looked down, ashamed.)
Employee: I could smell something like that.
Aju: Why didn't you tell me you're an orphan from the beginning?
MH: I'm a man (looking down). How would I just say that? I have my pride...
Aju: But your mouth is alive... What pride? Since I know it, then stay here and work for me. I'll pay you as I see the need for it. But you can't fool around anymore. Understand?
MH: (Smiling.) Yes, Madam!!!
***In MH's bed-room
Sleeping, dreaming (He's driving with friends, having fun... Noise of car breaks...)
***MH's bedroom opened
Aju: Look!! He's still sleeping! Wake up!
Employee: let him sleep. How tired he must be.
Aju: He has to wake up anyway. 5 more minutes is not going to help. Wake up... (Ahhh!!!) We have to start working! Wash your face and start working! Do you think it's easy to win the bread?
***At the Restaurant
YJ is delivering food. Misoon walked into the Restaurant.
Misoon: (To Aju.) Good morning! Did you sell lots of morning breakfast?
Aju: Come in. Yes, what about you?
MS: Coffee is always the same.
Employee: Miss Misoon looks all grown up now, like a flower opening up. You're wearing make up today.
MS: My skin is bad, so I just covered it with make up...
Emp: (To MH as he enters.) You must be tired! We're done with the urgent deliveries so take a break.
MH: So many people eating so much so early.
Aju: It's cuz they're all morning birds.
MS: Do you work here?
MH: Yes...
Aju: Do you know each other?
MS: No... I'm going, bye
***Yungook's Boat
MH: (There's no one outside.) Sir! I brought food! Where are you?
Yungook: (Coming out.) Ah? Aren't you the guy I saw the other day?
MH: The food is here.
Yungook: Haa haa!!! Are you working there?
MH: What do you care sir?
YG: There's nothing wrong with working there, but a young man like you... Don't you have anything better to do? With your looks, I can see it won't be easy, hee hee.
MH: What about my looks?
***In front of Sea Food House
MH: (To Gilja's father) Sir... (What?) Didn't you order food?
Father: Didn't you see the sign? This is a restaurant too!
Gilja: Wait! Hey, you're the guy who tried eating for free... and you ended up being a bell-boy? I knew you would end up like that!
MH: What?
Gilja: They call delivery boys "bell-boys".
MH: What kind of a woman are You?
GJ: What kind of what?
Mother: (Coming.) What's up?
GJ: (Raising her voice.) That guy called me "woman"!
Mother: Aren't you?
***At the Restaurant
Aju: You have to look at them! You have to recognize them! You can't just give the food, wait till they're done and come back with no money!
MH: (Looking down.) I'm sorry, I thought he was working there... Deduct money from my salary.
Aju: The money is not the problem. You have to pay more attention to what you're doing!
Emp: Stop it! That's enough!
***Later ... At the Restaurant
MH: How could I know he would be lying to me for a bowl of rice!
Emp: Forget it! Sit down and have this. Tell me: are you an orphan for real? (Yes, I grew up in an orphanage...) Then you are in the same shoes as Misoon...
MH: The girl who sells coffee?
Emp: Yes, what did you do in Seoul?
MH: I worked in a plastic factory but it closed down.
Emp: Why did you come here?
MH: I always love Boats and sailing, and I wanted to travel far away.
Emp: It makes sense.
MH: But people tell me I've no experience and that I look too weak so they're not hiring.
Emp: That's right, sailing is not for everyone. It's a tough and dangerous job.
***Near the Port
Gilja: Spring is beautiful but it's not good for business right?
Misoon: People look for coffee more when it's cold.
Gilja: No matter what, I envy you!
MS: Don't say that. What do you envy in someone who has no parents like me for?
GJ: I can't go anywhere since I have to take care of the customers. I feel more like a prisoner.
MS: But it's your store, and you can take care of your own parents.
GJ: You don't know. They're just trying to save the salary. They don't really treat me as their daughter. They don't need the money... Why can't I be treated like other girls my age?
MS: If you're so upset, do you want to switch?
GJ: How I wish we could switch! (Looked away...) Look, that bell-boy! He looks busy... "Hey bell-boy!" (Raised her voice.) I'm calling you but how come you're ignoring me!!! Are you deaf??!!
MS: Unni, you're too much.
GJ: His looks are a waste on him... Wait, that bell-boy... isn't he from Seoul?
***At the Restaurant
Aju: Sweep hard!!!
MH: It's enough that it's clean... Why should I scrub?
Aju: You really talk too much!
MH: You are worse...
Emp: He's doing fine. Why do you bother him?
Gilja: (Entered with a tray of food.) How's everyone doing?
Emp: What you're doing here? What's that?
GJ: I thought you'd like this.
Emp: Wow, you even brought soju... What's up?
GJ: Just seat down and enjoy this. (To MH.) I thought I went too far just now... I came to apologize.
MH: (Refusing to seat.) Are you kidding me?
Ajumma: What's going on!
GJ: Don't worry... it's between us.
Aju: That means... something happened with the 2 of you????
Emp: Did you know each other?
GJ: Don't think anything weird. Just drink, come on! (MH left.) Here, have this... I need to go talk to that guy...
Aju: Girls nowadays are unashamed...
***MH's Bedroom
Aju: Wait, let me find out something...
Emp: Why are you searching someone else's bag?
Aju: Don't you think he's kind of suspicious?
Emp: How?
Aju: I think he's hiding something. Look, this shirt looks expensive... don't you think he stole that?
Emp: Let's not do that. Let's get out.
Aju: Look at this wallet. Tell me what it says since I cannot see well.
Emp: There's nothing here really... (She takes the little notebook to herself.)
***Outside
MH: (Turned around.) Why do you follow me?
Gilja: I'm going home. This is the way. Why are you so difficult? If a girl apologizes, you should at least pretend to receive the apology.
MH: I really don't want to talk to you.
gangster1: Wow, are you having lover's fight??
Gilja: Who are you???
gangster1: Look at her... you really have some guts huh!!!
GJ: You better leave before you regret it.
gangster2: You really are something!
MH: Gilja-ssi, stop it.
gangster1: Gilja? It's that her name? Come here babe... (Trying to grab her.)
GJ: Stop it!
MH: How can you do that to a woman? (He was beaten up. Gilja bit one of them.)
gangster1: She's not a woman...
Yungook: What a Fuc...is going on in here?
gangster2: Who are you?
Yungook: If you're bored, you should go home and play instead of roaming around like that...
(They fought. Yungook beat them up. They ran away.)
GJ: Don't run away like chickens!!
YG: What kind of a lady are you? I worry for the man who'll marry you.
GJ: What do you care?
MH: Thank you for helping us.
YG: If you finished working you should go home and rest. What are you doing here at this hour? I'm not sure about other things, but I can tell you're an expert with women.
MH: No, it's not what you think.
GJ: Come on... What's not what?
YG: Shut up and go home. (He left.)
GJ: How rude!
MH: But he saved us.
GJ: From what? I wasn't scared.
***Inside Sea Food House
Father: What is Gilja doing this late?
Mother: How can I know? (GJ entered.)
Father: What happened to your clothes? Did you get into a fight?
GJ: No, I just went for a walk. WHY???
Father: Why? You're out this late and you're asking me why? You were not like that before... What's wrong?
GJ: You know well what's wrong! (She left.)
Father: I don't know what to do with her anymore.
Mom: You really don't know why she's like that? She wants to make herself pretty and hang-out like other girls... but you won't let her. Shouldn't she be upset?
***Yungook's Boat
MH: Didn't you finished yet?
YG: I did. Aren't you hurting?
MH: I still hurt a little but it's bearable... Anyway, thanks for yesterday.
YG: Go away!
MH: Where are you going today?
YG: What do you care? Go back to work.
MH: I'm done with the urgent stuff.
YG: Go read cartoon books.
MH: I graduated from that.
YG: Are you playing with me?
MH: Not really, but you're too much.
YG: What?
MH: I deliver your food everyday. Is it so hard to tell me where you're going?
YG: What a F...!!
MH: Did I say anything wrong? It's not that we don't know each other...
YG: I give up. I'm going to the other port... Are you satisfied now?
MH: What will you do there?
YG: Do you want me to beat you up?
MH: OK, I'll leave. You won't be here for lunch right?
YG: Isn't it obvious?
MH: At what time should I deliver your dinner?
YG: Do as You wish...
MH: OK.
***At a Public Phone
Employee: (Dialing.) Hello... Do you know someone by the name of Jang Moonhyung?
Woman's Voice: Moonhyung? Where is he? And who are you? (Well) Hello? Is Moonhyung there? Over here everyone's looking for him? Where are you calling from? (Hangs up.)
***In front of Sea Food House
Gilja: Did you finish your delivery?
MH: Yes...
GJ: Come in and have a cup of coffee.
MH: How could I drink coffee at a fish house?
GJ: Should we go to the café down the block? I have some things to talk about. Let's go (Grabbed the unwilling Moonhyung.)
MH: What are you doing?
GJ: Don't you like me?
MH: Not really?
GJ: You don't have to pretend. (Misoon saw them...)
***Café
GJ: If you came from Seoul, you must know people there.
MH: Some... why?
GJ: Can you introduce me to someone and find me a job?
MH: Are you planning to run away?
GJ: Why not?
MH: You have a home here. Why do you want to suffer in vain?
GJ: I want to learn some skills, and earn my own income. I'm tired of "waiting" on people at my age.
MH: I understand that, but you shouldn't run away like that. Try talking to your parents.
GJ : You don't know my father. He's cold-blooded.
***At the Restaurant
Ajumma: (As MH enters.) Since you're done with the morning routine, go have breakfast. (Yes...) How do you like this job so far?
MH: (Came back from thoughts.) Ahh, it's fun.
Aju: FUN??? Really? I'm soooo lucky, please don't change your mind.
Emp: So don't scold him anymore.
Aju: Scold him? I'll treat him as a king from now on. Go on and eat!
Emp: He's going to be so touched he won't be able to digest the food.
MH: I have a question about the sailor man.
Aju: The man who ate a bull?
MH: He ate a bull?
Aju: That means he's stubborn and stiff like a bull.
Emp: What about that single man? I thought he is a hard working person.
MH: Is he still single?
Aju: What do you want to know about him?
MH: I find him strange. Doesn't he have a home? He sleeps and eats in his boat...
Emp: I don't think he has a home.
Aju: That's not it. People say that he hates the world, and that he doesn't step on firm land unless necessary.
MH: Why?
Aju: How can I know? He hardly talks to anyone.
MH: He's a funny guy.
Aju: Funny? Don't even think about it. Gilja's dad said he belonged to the toughest group among the Marines... Even gangsters fear him.
***At Misoon's House
(Moonhyung is walking by and hears Misoon talking to her grandfather.)
Misoon: (Giving remedy) Why don't you listen to me? Didn't I tell you to drink this?
Grandfather: I'm sorry...
MS: Just promise me you'll take your medicine.
GF: Don't worry and go to work.
MS: Are you going to be OK?
GF: I'm always hurting, so what's the big deal? I know myself.
MS: I was so worried...
GF: I told you not to worry.
MS: Then, don't move, OK?
GF: Go back to work.
MS: I'll be back soon. Prepare your lunch.
***At the Restaurant
Aju: At first, I was waiting to see how long he would stay... but he is hanging much longer than expected.
Emp: So you can't tell by the appearance only... (MH entered.) Come in.
MH: Let me ask you... the girl who sells coffee (Misoon?) Yes, how come she's with her grandfather? What about her parents?
Aju: She's an orphan... I don't know how honest you are, but supposedly she's in your same shoes.
MH: What about the grandfather?
Aju: He's a homeless man that she's taking care of. You really ask too many questions!
***At Yungook's Boat
MH: Hyungnim*1, are you sleeping? I know you're not, so please answer me.
YG: (To himself.) This guy is crazy...
MH: Hyungnim, so you're awake (Putting down a tray of soju.)
YG: Who's your hyungnim?
MH: You're still single, so I shouldn't call you ajussi, right? And this is on me, so have it.
YG: Who told you I want to drink? I didn't order that.
MH: Why can't you accept this kindness?
YG: Forget it. If you don't leave, I'll beat the hell out of you!
MH: What kind of law is that? I don't care if you beat me or not, I won't move an inch until you have this.
YG: You're really persistent. OK, just give it to me. (Moonhyung doesn't move.) Why aren't you leaving?
MH: How can you drink by yourself?
YG: Are you telling me you want to drink with me?
MH: Were you planning to drink on your own?
YG: (Cracking up.) You're getting from bad to worse.
***Later at the Boat
YG: Tell me the truth, who are you? (Don't you know me?) You can't fool me. I know about people.
MH: I'm telling the truth.
YG: Do you really want me to beat your head up?
MH: Hyungnim, do you think my head is a watermelon?
YG: What crime did you commit in Seoul that you came here? I know all about that.
MH: OK, let me tell you. But it's a secret, so promise me you won't tell.
YG: It's been a long time since I spoke with anyone.
MH: The truth is... till recently, I was a college student.
YG: I knew it!
MH: Father built his business in this town. He's a pioneer Fisherman so people who works with boats know him. He's not feeling well lately so he retired and he's living with my older sister. My mother? She passed away 4 years ago. I have no brothers but 5 older sisters. I'm the youngest and only son.
YG: What's your father's name?
MH: Jang... Dong... Soo. Why? Do you know him?
YG: ... Not really. So now, tell me: What happened in Seoul?
MH: I had bad luck. Till now, I had enough money and to spare.
***At a Night Club
(Moonhyung is partying with friends.)
Friends: Let's go to another place, yes!!! Can U drive?
MH: No problem!
***Back to the Boat
YG: So you hit someone and ran away?
MH: You could say that... I just ran away so I'm not sure... but he must be dead by now. I really have no luck.
YG: You fuc...ing trash!!!
MH: Hyungnim....
YG: Who's your hyungnim? I'll give you a lesson... Stand up now. Stand up!!!

***Sea Port
Moonhyung is delivering food, walking and whispering. Some women call him to bring them food.
MH: Yes Madam. Be here in 10 minutes!
Woman1: He's very straightforward makes me feel good.
Woman2: He's now part of this town.
***Near the Port
MH: (Running to Misoon.) Hello.
Misoon: You seem very busy.
MH: Misoon-ssi... When are you off?
MS: I have no set schedule.
MH: That means you get off when you want? OK, see you!
***In front of Sea Food House
Gilja: Moonhyung-ssi!!!
MH: (Startled) What's up?
Gilja: Why are you being so difficult?
MH: I'm not... You're just too loud.
GJ: What are you doing this Sunday?
MH: Why?
GJ: You're too slow. If you have time I am going to ask you...
MH: Ahhh, I forgot I have an appointment. Then I can go now, right?
GJ: (To herself.) Trying to run away?
Sambong: Hello, your other-half is somewhere else.
GJ: Don't worry about my other-half and go away.
***Yungook's Boat
Yungook: I'll give you 1 to 2 days... We'll find someone else to do the deliveries by then.
MH: Do I really have to quit?
YG: Why, you're afraid to work with me?
MH: I'm just sad for the ajumma.
YG: This is a small town. You'll be able to see her whenever you want. You're sad? What a F..
MH: I'm just saying...
YG: Go back to work! And don't forget what you promised me.
***Inside the Sea Food House
Gilja: What??! Why should I marry Sambong-ssi?
Father: You should marry when you have a chance. What are you going to do by growing like an old maid.
GJ: I don't want!!!
Father: What's wrong with Sambong?
GJ: I don't like him!
Mom: He's hard working and seems that he'll treat you well. That's enough.
GJ: Mom, you too! I don't want to hear about it anymore.
Father: If I say you marry, you marry. Why are you being so difficult?
GJ: I worked in this place for 10 years... just to marry Sambong-ssi? I'll be really upset. You're not marrying me for free, are you? (She left.)
Father: Kids, you raise them and they think they grew up on their own.
Mom: She really doesn't want to marry!
Father: If not Sambong, no one will want her.
***Yungook is meditating
Moonhyung's Voice: Jang... Dong... Soo... Do you know my father?
***When Yungook was younger
He was in jail for three years for stealing. He got out.
Yungook: (To himself.) If I steal again, I'll be stupid. (He can't find jobs.)
He's walking... Hopeless... He passes an ajussi.
Ajussi: Give it back.
YG: Me? I don't have anything.
Ajussi: Don't play and give back my wallet!
YG: Ahh... What's this doing here?
Ajussi: Come, follow me.
YG: What for?
Ajussi: I know you have nowhere to go. You want to run away? Just do as I say!
***BBQ House
Ajussi: (They're both sitting in front of a table full of food.) Eat as much as you want. (YG started eating.) If I give you a job, would you take it?(Oh???) A man must work to survive. Are you going to continue stealing?
***YG came back to the present
***Near Misoon's Coffee table
Misoon: Unni, drink this and calm down. Try to understand your father. He must be doing this for you.
Gilja: You don't know him. He'll do anything for money.
MS: How can you say that?
GJ: I'll run away.
MS: I can't think of living anywhere else but here.
GJ: (Looking at Moonhyung delivering.) Ah... what do you think of Moonhyung?
Misoon: What about him?
GJ: Don't you think he's kind of cute?
MS: (Someone is asking her for coffee.) I got to go... later!
***Restaurant
Moonhyung entered.
Employee: You're back so soon!
Ajumma: How can someone change so much?
MH: I didn't change... I was a nice guy from the beginning.
Aju: OK, take a break and eat.
MH: I have something to tell you...
Aju: What?
MH: I think I must quit...
Aju: Why?
MH: Yungook Hyungnim asked me to work for him.
Aju: He wants to steal you away?
Emp: Why you say it like that?
Aju: I finally found someone and he's stealing...
MH: He's not stealing... I agreed, and he's trying to find someone to work here.
Aju: I don't understand what you're telling me. I was thinking you were doing fine here.
Emp: Good thinking. A man has to do a man's work. Don't worry about us and you do what you have to do.
MH: (Aju gives him an envelope.) What's this?
Aju: It's your salary
***At Yungook's Boat
MH: Hyung, I'm here.
YG: Put your stuff inside and come here.
MH: What are you doing?
YG: I'm trying to cook something.
MH: Why? We should just order.
YG: How could we order everyday? With you, there're 2 mouths to feed. So you said your farewell?
MH: Yes, it wasn't that easy...
YG: Don't act like a girl again!!! (MH looked sad.) Look how I do this, and do it for lunch.
MH: What??? Are you telling me to cook?
YG: Why? Don't you have hands? Don't just seat there. Prepare the tables! We must eat and go!
MH: What are we going to do?
YG: You'll see when we get there.
***On top of a Cliff
YG: Hurry!
MH: What are we doing here?
YG: Just come!
MH: I'm scared.
YG: Do you want me to throw you into the waters?
MH: I can't swim.
YG: Just follow me! (MH is complaining.)
***At Yungook's Boat
YJ is carrying his backpack in a hurry.
(From Agizagi)
MH: I'm leaving. If I stay with you, I might get really hurt! What do you think, that we are filming a Hong Kong movie? (Yungook didn't answer.) OK, you don't want to talk to me? Fine, farewell!
***At a Public Place
Moonhyung sat on a bench. He sighed.
MH: (To himself.) Who would have imagined I would end up like this... Mom... (Screaming) Ahhh!!! I want to go home!
Homeless: (Waking up.) If you want to go home just go! Why do you have to scream!
***In front of Yungook's Boat
MH is standing outside, not knowing what to do. He started to walk back and stumbled into Yungook.
MH: Hyungnim... Hyungnim... I'm back.
YG: If you left, that's it. What you're doing here?
MH: I'm sorry. I made a mistake. Please forgive me. (He grabbed the older man.)
YG: Get off me!!! Stop crying! What kind of a man are you? (They embraced each other.)
***In front of Sea Food House
Gilja: (To passerby.) Please come in!! (They ignored her.)
Emp: (Carrying a tray of food.) Do you have enough customers?
Gilja: No... but let me ask you: What happened to Moonhyung-ssi?
Emp: He went to sail boats.
Gilja: To sail boats. What for?
Emp: With Yungook-ssi.
GJ: What for?
Emp: How would I know?
***At Yungook's Boat
Gilja: Moonhyung-ssi! Are you there?
Yungook: Wow, she found us here! (MH came out.)
GJ: (Putting down the food that she brought.) You must be tired. Have this and get stronger. (He sat down to eat.)
YG: Look at him. He complained all day that he had a cold, but in front of food, he looked strong. (MH coughed.)
GJ: Did you catch a cold? Then the more reason to eat. Here.
MH: Hyungnim, come join us!
YG: Never mind.
GJ: (To Moonhyung.) Come on, eat. What are you doing?
MH: Can I return the plates later? I don't think I'll be able to digest it if Hyungnim doesn't eat with me.
GJ: Allright, go ahead.
MH: Thank you for the food.
GJ: Don't worry, and bring me the plates later.
***Later that night
YG: Nice going... (Smoking.) Thanks to you, I ate well...
MH: Don't imagine things, there's nothing going on.
YG: Don't hurt women.
MH: Hyungnim, what are you saying? Who am I? I'm nice guy Jang Moonhyung. By the way, can I go to the town this Sunday?
YG: What for?
MH: I have a date. Don't tell me you'll make me work on Sundays also?
YG: Are you going with the Sea Food girl?
MH: Not really.
YG: You have someone else (Surprised)?! Now you'll really get in trouble.
MH: Why do you say that? I'm thinking of formally going out with someone.
YG: Who?
MH: (Blushing.) Her name is Misoon.
YG: The nice girl who sells coffee?
MH: That's her. She's pretty. She doesn't take care of herself but with her face could compete with any girl in Seoul.
YG: (He looked upset.) Why...? Do you have feelings for her? (Grabbed Moonhyung by his neck.) Tell me the truth: Do you really like her?
MH: Let me go!
YG: You're not playing with her, are you? Cuz if you are, I'll break all your bones. (He pushed MH away.)
***Later
MH: I like you Hyungnim, but sometimes you're weird.
... Hyungnim(Yes?) What do you live for?
YG: What do you mean?
MH: How did you end up living like this?
YG: What's wrong?
MH: You live inside your boat. Don't you have a house?
YG: I have a house. (You do?) A small one on the island beyond.
MH: You're rich then!
Gilja: Moonhyung-ssi, are you done?
MH: (Carrying the tray, to YG.) I'll take this and be back.
***As both MH and Gilja are carrying back the tray
MH: What do you have to tell me?
GJ: Don't rush me.
MH: I have to get up early...
GJ: Why are you doing that? If you work in the restaurant, it's easier for you.
MH: I just thought it would be fun.
GJ: I wanted to tell you... Don't you want to go to Seoul with me?
MH: What???
GJ: I told you before how I hate my life here. If I go to Seoul with you and get a job, I think I'll be like a normal human being.
MH: I can't go to Seoul
GJ: Why? What's the reason?
MH: I have my reasons... but I like it here also. Why don't you stay? You don't know what's out there in Seoul.
GJ: Don't tell me that! ... And don't imagine anything... I just told you cuz I thought if we go together it would be easier. That's all. Thank you anyway, and good night! (Grabbed the tray from him, and she rushed away.)
***Moonhyung dates Misoon.
***At Yungook's Boat
GJ: Moonhyung-ssi, I'm here!
YG: He's not here.
GJ: Where is he?
YG: He went... somewhere. Why?
GJ: I brought him some food... What should I do? Ajussi, could you give it to him when he comes back?
YG: Why not? (He took the food.)
GJ: Ajussi... (Yes?) Could I... look inside the boat?
YG: Why would you like to look inside?
GJ: I'm curious to know how Moonhyung-ssi lives...
YG: OK, come in. Careful.
GJ: Wow, it's much better than I thought!
YG: It's just a boat...
GJ: Doesn't he carry a picture or something?
YG: Why would he carry that for?
GJ: Why don't you get married?
YG: Who would marry me?
GJ: If you look around, there are women willing to...
YG: Anyway, are you going to just stand in there?
GJ: No, I'll go... And don't eat this before Moonhyung-ssi gets here.
YG: So you're making sure I don't touch this, hee hee. Don't worry. (To himself.) But why is this guy taking so long?
***On her way back
(Gilja is looking around... she saw Moonhyung with Misoon.)
Misoon: Now, go back.
MH: I'll take you.
MS: No, I don't want others to see us.
MH: OK, (He gave her a paper bag.) Give this chicken to your grandfather. I had a great day today.
(Gilja is hiding from them....)
***At Yungook's Boat
MH: Hyungnim, don't you get tired of working?
YG: You're telling me that, after playing all day?
MH: Why don't you meet women and enjoy life?
YG: You do that.
MH: Yes, sir. I had a great day today. I tried my best to be serious so that you don't break my bones.
YG: (Pointing at Gilja's food.) See that? Open it.
MH: What's that?
YG: The Sea Food girl dropped this off while you were not here (...) If you don't like it, say it! Don't be hurting women like that.
MH: OK...
***At the Sea Food House
(Gilja is looking down, sad...)
Mother: What are you doing? I found that this Sambong is pretty well off. He owns a house, a truck and is about to open up a store.
Father: It's not just that. He doesn't have too many extended family members... This girl doesn't know what she's missing.
GJ: Just leave me alone!!! (She left.)
Father: Do as you like. I don't care. (Smoking.)
***In front of Yungook's Boat
(Seated, Gilja waited, while holding a bundle in her hands. Yungook and Moonhyung walked out of the boat.)
MH: What are you doing here this early?
GJ: I have something to tell you.
MH: To me?
GJ: Not to you, but to Yungook Ajussi.
YG: To me?
GJ: Yes, please come here.
***At an isolated place
YG: I can't do that.
GJ: Pleeease?!!
YG: What will I tell your parents?
GJ: Just take me to Seoul, I'm pleading with you. Otherwise I'll kill myself!
YG: What are you saying?
GJ: They want me to marry someone I don't like. I rather die.
***At the Sea Food House
Mother: She's not here.
Father: What is that sleeper doing? What's this? (He found a piece of paper.)
Mother: What does it say?
Father: (Readying.) Father, mother, please forgive this daughter. I'll call you later. (Looked up.) What does this mean?
Mother: Oh my God...
***At Yungook's House
YG: You can stay here. There's food inside that you can cook. Go wash yourself. I'll be back in 3-4 days...
GJ: I'll never forget this favour.
YG: I don't know if I'm doing right. I may get in trouble for this.
GJ: You won't.
Woman: Wow! Look who's here! Long time no see!
YG: (Bowing.) How are you doing?
Woman: Is she your wife?
YG: (Blushing.) Ah... no, not at all...
***At Yungook's Boat
MH: Where is Gilja-ssi?
YG: What do you care?
MH: Did you throw her into the wa...
YG: What are you talking about?
MH: Where is she then?
YG: Go back to work!!!
***At the Sea Food House
Sambong: What do you mean... she disappeared?
Father: I knew something like that would happen.
Mon: (Crying.) We forced her to get married...
Father: If I were her, I would marry whoever my parents tell me to. I don't understand her.
(Mother gets upset at father. Sambong cancelled the marriage plan.)
Father: Why do you want to cancel?
Sambong: How can I know what she's up to? Who knows what she's doing now, and with whom? (He left.)
***At Yungook's House
Woman: I prepared some food. Here, have some... And tell me how you met.
GJ: It's not what you think.
Woman: Everyone says that at first. I told him many times I would introduce him to girls but he turned me down. Now I understand. He's hard working, manly, healthy and faithful. You won't find such a man easily. You're a lucky girl.
***At Yungook's Boat, in the middle of the Sea
(MH helped YG got out of the scuba diving uniform.)
MH: This is much harder than I thought.
YG: But you've improved a lot.
MH: Still, I've a long way to go.
YG: I'm hungry. Let's eat.
MH: Allright.
***Moonhyung with Misoon
Misoon: I'm worried for her. She's going to be OK, right?
MH: Of course.
MS: I think she went to Seoul.
MH: No, she didn't. (Yes?) A few days ago she asked me to help her find a job in Seoul but I couldn't help her.
MS: She's such a good unni... I don't understand why she hates Pusan so much.
MH: What about you? Have you ever thought of living somewhere else?
MS: Everywhere is the same... and I love my hometown.
MH: Have you ever missed your parents?
MS: I would be lying if I say no. But I know people who are worse off than I, so I remind myself to be thankful. Besides, I'm healthy and have a grandfather who loves me. Moonhyung-ssi, take heart. You must think it's tough now, but if you work hard, it's going to get better.
MH: OK.
Gangster1: Wow, what a nice picture! ... Wait a minute... Didn't I see you before? I got it! Don't you remember the crazy couple we met before?
Gangster2: Yes... Good to see you...
Misoon: Please, stop it.
Gangster1: Look at him. Changing girls? What happened to that gangster of a girl?
MH: Stop talking non-sense and fight if you want.
Gangster2: You were scared back then. Did you have Ginseng?
Misoon: Calm down Moonhyung-ssi. How are you going to fight with them?
Gangster1: What a F...!!! (Fist, kicks, beatings.... police whistle.)
***Police Station
Officer: What happened?! Tell us your full name and address.... What? Are you trying to hide something?
***At Moonhyung's House in Seoul
Sister: Don't worry so much. I'm sure he'll be back once he's tired of roaming around.
Dongsoo: How can my only son be like that?
Sister: It's our fault too. Since he is the only boy among many girls, we spoiled him. When mother was alive, she wouldn't let us touch him. And it's also true that you were too strict with him. When mother passed away, he must have felt homeless.
Dongsoo: What's the point of saying that now?
Sister: People are looking for him so we'll find him soon. A few days ago someone called asking for him... We lost touch and she didn't call back. I don't think he has any money. I hope he's not doing anything illegal out there. All should be solved if he only calls us... I think he believed he killed the man.
Dongsoo: What happened with the man? Are the family satisfied?
Sister: We gave them all they asked so what else will they want? And he wasn't hurt that much.
DS: (Sigh) It was a close call. Someone almost died. (The telephone rings.)
Sister: Hello, yes... What? Is he hurt? OK. (To Father.) Father, we found him.
DS: Where is he?
Sister: It's the police station from Pusan. He got into a fight with some street peddlers.
DS: A fight! One after another...
Sister: But I'm happy we found him.
***At Yungook's House
(YG is looking at Gilja from far...)
YG: What are you doing? Go get your stuff. (Why?) You couldn't sleep well, could you? Go home and fight if you must, but you have to go now.
***Police Station
Sister: Hello, we came for Jang Moonhyung.
Officer: Yes, you're from Seoul? A sailor named Park Yungook took him. You'll find him there.
***At Yungook's Boat
Gilja: (Getting off the boat.) I really thank you.
YG: Never mind. Go home now.
GJ: Yes sir.
MH: (Looking at Gilja go away.) She may end up being my Hyungsoonim*2?
YG: Shut up!
Sister: Moonhyung! (MH looked back and ran.) Moonhyung-ah!!! Why didn't you call home? Do you know how worried we were? Look at you... You look like you had a rough time...
MH: I'm sorry nuna..
Sister: Why would you feel sorry to me? Go greet your father. He worried for you the most.
YG: (He approached Dongsoo who is on a wheelchair.) Hello... Do you remember me?
Dongsoo: Yungook...? Aren't you Yungook?
YG: Yes sir. It's been a long time... Please let me bow before you. (He kneeled down.) How's your health?
DS: I'm fine.
YG: I'm sorry sir, I should have visited you often...
DS: Don't worry. Tell me what you do now.
YG: I'm a fisherman. And I took care of your son. I know I may not be worthy, but I tried to teach him how to live right... thinking of you.
DS: Wow! I really owe you one!
YG: No way! It's nothing compared with what you did for me...
MH: Father.... father.... I'm really sorry for giving you such a hard time... I'll be a good son from now on.
DS: Come here my boy! No matter what, you'll always be my son...
***Phone Booth/Sea Food House
Mother: Gilja-ya where are you? (Mom!!!) That's OK... just come home... Your father hired someone to work here so that you can do whatever you want. So just come. (Is that true?) Yes, I'm not lying, so come home.
***Near the Road
Sister: What do you mean you're not coming home?
MH: I like it here nuna... Let me stay.
Sister: Your friends miss you.
MH: I miss them too. But that's not important. The important thing is how to make the best with your life. Before, all I knew was to have fun with my friends. But now I know there's more in life than that. I learnt what it means to earn your own bread and to work hard for it. (Father listened proudly.) I want to stay here and learn more about life. When I feel I know enough, then I'll go back.
Sister: Father, say something!
Dongsoo: Let's go!
Sister: What?
Dongsoo: We are busy too. Let's go!
***With Misoon
Misoon: Why didn't you tell me? Did you have fun playing with me?
MH: That's not true. You know well that's not true!

MS: Get away from me! I'm going to follow society's rule.
MH: What's wrong with you...?
MS: Don't you know? You're making me feel worse! (She doesn't look at him.)
MH: You were the one who told me to have courage in life and to strive for the better. One thing I can assure you. I'm not all that, why wouldn't you look at me? In fact, I should be ashamed infront of you... for you taught me how to live. And I'm not giving up so easily. (They hugged each other.)
